… its been a bit quiet on the blog as I have been setting up a new initiative called ‘Creative Ecology’ (www.creative-ecology.co.uk).

I have set up Creative Ecology to deliver a programme of participatory arts projects and training/consultancy, that supports people in exploring their identity and developing greater environmental awareness, in a hands-on, creative way.

I will continue to work in partnership with schools, community and environmental organisations, and other artists, to set up these opportunities and to share our work to a wider audience through training events etc.

I am back working on 5×5x5 tomorrow, so there will be some more news and photos on the children’s explorations around the village of Pitton later this week.

I am also in Poole for a couple of days later this week, working with reception-age children to explore pattern and texture through rubbings, clay impressions and casting of their local outside space; linking to their recent visit to the Jurassic Coast and theme of fossilisation and dinosaur teeth!
